I have an easy going personality about meeting new people and dating. I feel that, if there is a good fit, it will work out. I don’t jump to conclusions and I am interested in getting to know what a person is really like below the surface. I genuinely care about people and am uniquely skilled in supporting a friend and/or dating partner through challenges.
I like to be active but live a balanced life overall. I enjoyed relaxed conversation and feel this is one of the most crucial parts of a relationship.
My work is important to me right now, but not all consuming. I’m looking to invest some time in meeting new people and dating. However, work can be stressful and I would hope that a dating partner would understand that and be a little flexible as I get my feet on the ground in my new profession.
I also feel the need to be upfront to prevent a series of misunderstandings. I believe that God wants us to love and respect each other above all, and that fulfilling traditional gender roles is something that He does not require. I feel we have to work together to balance two roles in a relationship and ultimately in a marriage and that creative solutions can be achieved when two people are committed to marriage.
If children are in the cards, then I believe God will provide them but, in my view, entering a relationship for this sole purpose can be problematic so I would prefer to avoid that particular scenario.
My Ideal Person:
I’m looking for a man who is willing to take it slow in developing a relationship. I want to date and meet new people with the goal of entering into marriage as the end.
I try to exercise regularly and am in the process of increasing my regimen. I like to date people who have some interest in health and exercise, but not a perfect physical specimen by any means!
I prefer a date who is interested in learning about and appreciate different cultures and not single-mindedly socially conservative to the point that he will shoot down opposing ideas. Conversation about values is important to me and there is not only one way to look at an issue. It is also vitally important to me that my dating/relationship partner be willing to consider the perspective of those who have a different experience of mainstream America than he may have. I am interested in dating people from various ethnic, race and cultural backgrounds, but this is not a requirement or even a preference.
